Abstract

To investigate the feasibility of vegetal gallic acid (GA) improving silage quality, fermentation parameter, nitrogen distribution and bacterial community of mulberry leaves and stylo ensiled with 1% and 2% GA were analyzed after 60-d fermentation. The results showed that GA addition decreased dry matter loss (6.08% vs 5.35%, 17.79% vs 11.56% in mulberry leaves and style silage, respectively), pH (6.51 vs 5.98, 5.55 vs 4.57), butyric acid (0.41% and 0.83% DM, undetected in GA groups) and ammonia-N (0.71% vs 0.19%, 1.46% vs 0.29% TN) contents and increased lactic acid (2.27% vs 6.68%, 0.91% vs 1.91% DM) and acetic acid (1.68% vs 3.20%, 0.97% vs 2.02% DM) contents. Meanwhile, the relative abundance of Clostridium or Enterobacter was decreased, and that of lactate-producing bacteria was increased in mulberry leaves and stylo silage. In conclusion, GA could be used as a green additive to improve fermentation quality and protein preservation during ensiling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
